BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP: notmycar HITS STEAM EARLY ACCESS APRIL 5th

Exciting news, folks. We're gearing up to release vehicular battle royale game notmycar on April 5th!

It will be available for free on Steam Early Access come April 5th and we're hosting a Founders' Week launch day through April 12th. If you play during the first week of the game, you'll get an exclusive custom paint job for notmycar's one and only pick-up truck of punishment – The Beast. Stay tuned for more news to come until then!

Here's some gameplay from beta.



I feel like this is such the perfect genre for Twisted Metal to come back and make it big.

I love, love, love the idea... but that gameplay footage looks pretty meh and as "basic" as car combat can be.

Why not just have a 60 car race with the last 3 eliminated at every 30 second interval. Kinda like the old arcade outrun style games.

I think one of the issues is that car combat pretty much just comes down to circling and holding the fire button. And that's a genre issue, not just this game. But this looks boring as a result.

The idea is strong but the execution is pretty bland. Twisted Metal would make for a great vehicle BR.

As others have said, if this can scratch my Twisted Metal itch then I'm so incredibly in.

yeah this looks bland, i would opt to make it much more contact based - give people giant swinging wrecking balls, sawblades and grappling hooks.

The idea is fun but the barren landscape ala PUBG (and even just looking at the map) puts me off badly.
Why can't we have something that is a bit more interesting than barren Eastern European war zone? Give me something, at least, like the desert in Mad Max or something colorful like in Rocket League, etc... :/

Actually, car design and modifications like in Mad Max could be amazing, with lots of possibilities for customization, and a bunch of personality.

Well, the trailer's not wrong. Cars make things a lot more fun. Not sure about that gameplay montage, though.

yeah that looks kinda rough, like car combat in a regular game where you would just wish for the car combat section to be finally over.

Looks like this'll be out tomorrow, for the low, low price of free. Hopefully this is the start of the car combat Renaissance.
